Sevlaren 400mg Tablet

Sevlaren 400mg tablet contains an active ingredient called Sevelamer. It belongs to the medication class known as phosphate binders. It is used to manage hyperphosphatemia (high blood phosphate levels) in adult patients undergoing dialysis (hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis) and patients with chronic kidney disease who have elevated serum phosphorus levels. It should be used with other treatments, such as calcium supplements and vitamin D, to prevent bone disease. High blood phosphorus levels can cause calcification, where hard deposits form and stiffen blood vessels, affecting blood flow.

Do not consume Sevlaren 400mg tablet if you are allergic to Sevelamer or any of its ingredients in the medication. Avoid consuming this medicine if you have low levels of phosphate and bowel obstruction.  Before taking this medicine, notify your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to get pregnant, or think you may be pregnant or are breastfeeding. Before starting treatment, let your doctor know if you have trouble swallowing or if your stomach and bowel have problems moving food.

Also, inform your doctor if you currently have bowel inflammation or have had major stomach or bowel surgery. Sevlaren 400mg tablet is not recommended for children under six years old due to the lack of studies on its safety and effectiveness in that age group. If your doctor has advised you about a sugar intolerance, please consult your doctor before taking this medication, as it contains lactose.
